Funny thing is that the same dog that eats all sorts of inappropriate things without an issue ... gets the worst stomach upset from some type of treats ... he will also get really sick from eating too much snow ( which he seems to love)- nobody knows why ...
Shaking my head about my crazy dogs ! They are like kids ...
My son ingested a marble once - my daughter ate candies with wrappers and rocks ... and the things kids can put into their ears and noses ... having dogs is like having toddlers that never grow up |
Exactly! The town vet wants to X-ray, treat for everything under the sun but our country vet who also owned a yorkie said don't worry, most things will pass...and you'll know when it isn't going to pass. The town vet wants to test my moms dogs all the time if they throw up. I told her once isn't a problem, just a upset tummy. But she ends up spending hundreds to be told feed them a bland diet for a day! I wouldn't even want to know all the stuff Max has eaten lately. Besides the dead bunny in his mouth, twice! Yuck and he didn't even get sick
